Grammar Correction Glitch.
Is Word just expressing a grammatical preference here? In word, type in the following sentence: He lay there, his eyes open. Then hit enter. It will prompt you to change the comma to a semi-colon. Let it do that. It produces "He lay there; his eyes open." It wants to correct the semi-colon to a comma. Here, I'll show you in this .gif that I captured: Does the same happen for you?
Office 2024 word issue: Some text after cursor deleted after save
Hi everyone, After upgrading from Office 2019 to Office 2024, I encountered a bizarre issue with Word: when saving a document, some text following the cursor would disappear. After some digging, I found that deleting the registry key at: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Word\Resiliency\DisabledItems resolved the issue for me. A few questions: - Has anyone else experienced a similar problem after upgrading? - Is removing this registry entry a recommended fix, or are there risks associated with it? - Could there be a more permanent solution or an upcoming update addressing this? I'm running Office 2024 LTSC. Any insights or similar experiences are appreciated!
mail merge select recipients got broken
This feature worked before with an office enterprise 2007, but it started behaving oddly some days ago. Option 1. type a new list throws error: Class not registered Option 2. use an existing list creates wrong file path by cutting the file name and appending file extension to the last folder. E.g.: the file to be used as data source in mail merge is C:\Users\me\folder1\folder2\data.xlsx, but the mail merge dialog box shows: C:\Users\me\folder1\folder2.xlsx In step by step mailmerge wizard, there is not option to select excel data source at step 3/6. I can select "Special" and then narrow down to Excel files, but no table data is shown after selecting any .xls(x) file. Most probably this freature has been broken since an office pro plus 2019 installation attempt (but i m not sure 100%). Is there a common office registry setting that blocks this feature and makes such weird behavior? Excel source file is healthy, it works perfectly on other PCs with mail merge.How to insert a master foot note in many other word documents

Pictures on a blank document can be selected 1-by-1 using ctrl+mouse pointer. In this way the Shape Format menu appears and I can change outline and other things. If I use ctrl+A or the pointer itself, the Text Format menu appears and I cant format the pictures. Is there a way to select multiple pictures with ctrl+A or the pointer? Not sure if Shape format can be pinned to the menu bar.
In Word, how to make the current line that I'm typing in it appears in all cases?
Hello everyone, In Microsoft Word, if I'm typing at the end of the current visible area then I start a new line it does not show that new line automatically while i'm typing in it unless I start the second new line or I scroll down by VBA or manually I scroll down, the problem is that it does not automatically scroll down while I'm at the end of the visible area and I start new line, see the video by the following link to know what I mean, it's less than two minutes: Document1 - Word 2025-04-29 14-51-12.mp4 so how to make the line that I type in it always visible? Note that this problem does not exist in Notepad in Windows 10 that I use, but it exist in Microsoft Word!
Macro Security appears to be broken when docs are opened programmatically
Is anyone else experiencing this problem? It seems that when opening Word and Excel documents programmatically via the application object, macro security is bypassed. Its as though the security settings do not exist. E.g. create a Word dotm file or a DOC file with an AutoOpen macro. Set security to the highest level (disable without notification) then programmatically open the document. the macro runs. It happens in semi-annual channel 32 bit and 64 bit and both Win 10 and Win 11, Word and Excel. It cannot just a vba bug because we are also experiencing it with iManage documents when the opening is initiated from within the application. If anyone knows of a solution for this problem, your sharing would be very much appreciated.
Word Mail Merge->PDF->Auto Name
I am trying to think of a way to automate a process. Part of this is in word and part with Adobe. Basically, here is the scenario. Every year all the staff in the company (about 350-400 employees) get evaluated and then their compensation is recalculated and an employment contract sent to them for the next year. The contract is in PDF form which they digitally sign and return to the company. Right now the process is like this: A spreadsheet is created with all the employee specific information. The spreadsheet data is merged with the standard employment agreement based on their title. The merge creates a different document for each employee which must then be saved (named with the employee name), converted to a PDF, and then a digital signature is requested via Adobe. I would like to automate this whole procedure. I would like to mail merge, save each document as a Word Doc and then a PDF under the employee's name. Once I have all of that, I would like to get PDF to send out all the documents via email (which will be in the spreadsheet too). I am a programmer so code does not scare me in the least. I am just not sure of the approach to take. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
